Their train of thought has long since
pulled out of the station, and crossed
the tracks entangled in their head.
Though their journey is still ongoing,
their destination is endless, and on
past memories fed.

Come and sit by me
You look so in need of a hug
If that chair is too uncomfortable
We could snuggle up on the rug.
Today I am reliable
You can be sure of my attention
I will shower you with kisses
and do things I dare not mention
Tomorrow, I can’t speak for
As there could be intervention.
Events out of my control,
causing irreversible tension.
I deserted you because
you were too soft.
You mothered me.
Smothered me.
Saw to my every need.
You should have been
more challenging, and
stood your ground.
Our relationship is dead
because you had ‘doormat’
stamped across your head.
Consider the safety net he offers you.
He’ll take good care of you.
He’s reliable.
He’ll be there when you fall, and
you may come to love him in time.
I know he’s not demonstrative, and
your heart doesn’t miss a beat.
But he’ll give you a life that is comfortable,
and get you back on your feet.

The foundations are solid.
The infrastructure is in place
The only flawed component
is the human race.

Teach the little ones to pray
It will help them through their toughest day
Teach the little ones to eat
It will set them up with the top elite
Teach the little ones to love
It will help their hand fit into the glove
Teach the little ones to sleep
It will restore their body, like little bo-peep
Teach the little ones to smile
It will get them over many a style
Teach the little ones to hope
When you’re gone, it will give them hope.
Simpleton’s sausages won all the awards,
and were packed with flavour and taste.
They sat perfectly with creamy mash
and ‘Toad in the hole’ next day
meant little waste.
Do it with dignity
Show some pride
Ride a white swan
to the other side.
Lead him not into temptations path,
for he is a succour for life on the wild side.
And will embrace all that is on offer,
on a reckless, roller coaster ride.
